Update!
Hey Folks, Emily and I have decided that after a busy spring with a bunch of work-related and other travel, we're too tired for a west coast tour to be fun and exciting. Thanks for folks who bought some of our stuff. We'll be tabling at SappyFest in Sackville, NB, and maybe some other spots in the next while. We'll also be putting together an Etsy shop and you can get our stuff online year-round.
Take care! Kaley go it alone (together)

I’m so please to have my new printed matter work Austerity Rules in This for That at Malapina Printmakers. I’m exhibiting alongside my long-time political art mentors Garry Neill Kennedy and Cathy Busby and that feels really special.
Austerity Rules is a set of 12 rules that make obvious...
The Complete, Hyperbolic & Almost Entirely True History of Glitter (abridged) Emily 1/4 page, 24 pages B&W with fancy glitter cover
This zine, based on a puppet show Emily performed at a queer cabaret, talks about the history of the important queer signifier glitter. From cabarets in the 1920s to glitter bombing, this zine speaks to how glitter became the queer symbol we know it.

Check out these reviews of some of our zines!
I got back late last night from an East Coast vacation, which included an arduous but rewardingly beautiful hiking trip in Gaspésie, then a road trip down to SappyFest in Sackville, New Brunswick. I had heard much about SappyFest from friends who have been involved with it for many years. The 2013 edition was the festival’s eighth year, and my first time there. In addition to lots of music, tasty eats, activities such as an artistic mini-putt course in Struts Gallery, SappyFest also includes a tiny, adorable zine fair. I was stoked to get a chance to check out some East Coast zines. I picked up three zines from Go It Alone (Together), a dream team of two Halifax zinesters, Emily Davidson and Kaley Kennedy. I’ll be writing about their zines today. Looking at the website for their distro, all of their stuff looks super rad. Titles include Ladies, Please!, which is about how non-trans women can make feminist spaces more trans-positive, and A How-To Guide to Manarchy, a “satirical guide… for how to push feminists out of anarchist circles”. I also got two issues of Photomill zine, which I will talk about another day.
In other zine news, I also enjoyed the Universal Dawn event, a series of readings curated and hosted by my friend Ian Roy, which included readings by Jeff Miller of Ghost Pine zine, including one about my hometown, which was deeply pleasing to me.
I apologize if, after my hiatus, I’m a little rusty at this whole zine-reviewing thing. I will be doing my best to get back on the horse.

The Homophobia Zine, or, Confessions of a Straight-Little-Square
by Emily Davidson, 2010
16 pg. at 1/6 (?) letter size
$2 from the authors
In this handsomely produced mini-zine, Davidson relates ways and situations where homophobia has gotten in the way of her committment to being an ally to queer pals, confessing, “When I think about this shit I wonder if I’m too homophobic to be rad”. This zine is great in that it addresses a big topic using small, funny examples that show the scary but necessary process of confronting one’s own homophobia.
On Not Being Queer
by Kaley Kennedy, 2009
16 pg. at 1/6 (?) letter size
$2 from the authors
This is a personal mini-zine about the writer’s uneasy relationship with queerness. As someone who’s been romantically involved with people from various genders, she explains why she’s been ambivalent about identifying as queer. I am always interested in reading about how people who are straight or benefit from straight privilege can be part of queer communities in a responsible way.
On (Not) Being Queer (Enough)
by Kaley Kennedy, 2013
27 pg. at 1/6 (?) letter size
$2 from the authors
On (Not) Being Queer (Enough) is a follow-up to On Not Being Queer. Four years out, Kennedy is more comfortable identifying as queer. In this zine, she writes more about the political usefulness of queer identities, as well as talking about her own queer history. I don’t want to say too much about this zine, since it’s short and I want you to still feel like you should buy a copy, but I thoroughly recommend it as a thoughtful, funny, insightful read.

go it alone together SALE!
We are terrible at selling our stuff online. Coordinating it with our schedules and across the distances between Halifax and Toronto mean that we are the worst at answering email requests to buy our stuff and all that. We're a lot better at zine fairs and the like where we concentrate all the logistics for a single day or a couple of days. We're trying to raise some money to go to the Portland Zine Symposium and do a little mini zine tour on the west coast, so we're selling some stuff online. We'll add a few more things in the coming days as things get going. Think of this as an IndieGoGo or Kickstarter without paying all the fees to them, but with a limited window. The sale will be open for 30 days or so, or until we run out of things!
Zines forever!

Say it in a Letter Poster 11 x 14 Screenprint + Letterpress
At go it alone (together) we love talking about radical ideas by relating them to things that are familiar. Public services, like the postal service, are reminders of the ways we can work together and build things in common. In Canada, threats are abound to lay off letter carriers, stop door to door delivery, and privatize our postal service. This poster is about showing love for the postal service and reminding ourselves that public services like the postal service can connect our communities.

Freelance as Fuck Kaley & Emily ¼ page, 36 pages B&W
Part-time, freelance and contract-based work is becoming the new norm for many of us. Freelance as Fuck is a conversation-based zine that is critical of the way that freelancing is sold as a desirable, flexible and liberating form of work. Talking about our own experience, this zine talks about the instability of freelance work, the pressure to engage in unpaid labour and how freelance work alienates us from each other.
